When rowing, Vikings probably sat on their 'sea-chests', which were wooden boxes with their belongings inside.

Viking ships could sail at about 18 km/h (10 mph). The steering oar was on the right-hand or 'starboard' side of the ship. The Sea Stallion is a replica Viking ship built to recreate voyages from Denmark to Ireland.

Weapons of War

The Viking warriors’ shields would edge the outer sides of the longships. This ensured that they were stored effectively, were ready for use and buffeted the ship against waves. They were made of wood and covered with leather. Many shields had an iron rim and they were held with a grip on the reverse side.
